What Resources Are Available for Your Patients?
AIM with Immunotherapy is dedicated to helping healthcare professionals provide information to help guide patients and their caregivers through treatment. Our medical plans are intended to be patient-directed, printer-friendly packets of information that you can refer to during discussions about therapy and then send home with your patients.
Immunotherapy may be a new concept for your patients with cancer. It may be hard for patients to understand why they need an immune checkpoint inhibitor, bispecific antibody, or CAR T-cell therapy. Patients may also feel overwhelmed and nervous during their discussions with you and may not remember treatment details once they leave your office. Our information helps explain the treatment to patients and their caregivers in patient-friendly language, and since it can be printed and taken home, patients can refer to it later, as needed.
Most importantly, our resources provide information for patients on the possible side effects of immunotherapy. Patients may not realize that the side effects they are experiencing can be managed if they communicate these concerns with you. Often, patients are hesitant to reach out to their providers because they believe you are too busy for them. This information helps patients distinguish between common side effects and those that require urgent medical attention.
Why trust AIM’s resources?
Our resources are written with guidance and assistance from the latest medical information contained in high-impact-factor medical journals, governing bodies, regulatory agencies, and reputable sources. The initial writing is done at the PhD level and then passed to multiple editors. The polished written content is then thoroughly reviewed by licensed medical professionals who are experts in the specific area of medicine and treatment. Nothing is created in isolation.
